The leader in passing yards after three games has 879 yards, less than 300 per game, one TD and eight picks. Only eight QBs have over 600 yards. Between them, the top 25 QBs by yardage have 45 TDs and - wait for it - 103 interceptions. There is one QB who is 18 for 19 with 6 TDs and no picks. For the most part, the TD/INT ratios make Woody Hayes' and Darrell Royal's attitudes about passing look correct.

The top 25 RBs by yardage are averaging over five yards per carry and at least 170 yards per game.

This is not a rant or personal criticism of anyone, but I think we are seeing a trend. I think the point of beta testing is to get this kind of information out there and let the programmers address the problems.

What an idiot....posting the QB stats 3 times...3 times....3 times....LOL

Just kidding....glad you posted this stuff, it is certainly interesting and you are right on the mark...this is the kind of data that the programmers will need to be looking at. I would also like to point out that my wishbone all run team is absolutely DISMAL at running the ball (I'm not in Romero). It would appear that other formations are able to run the ball better than the wishbone. Another thing that will need to be looked at.

Overall....lots of stuff for the programmers to look at and revise. I saw Norbert's response to some of these items and it appears he is quite a busy fellow.

2chair...Have you posted this in the Beta forum? It's good info and I would really like for Norbert to see it, though some/most of these issues are already being worked on, I don't believe all are.
harris...I too tried to run the bone in Beta with no success. I'm tearing it up running with my QB and a WR out of the shotgun against defenses playing dime/pass all game long. We all wanted more cause & effect and this may be an example of it. Set up in the shotgun, get the defense playing 5 or 6 DB's and playing the pass, then run the ball. I'm not at all sure that's a bad thing but I do think it may need to be toned down just a little. The big problem I see in all of this is the fact that formations like the wishbone cause teams to play 5-2 and 4-4 / Heavy Run all game and we have NO success running. Yeah, it's the cause & effect we were looking for, just maybe a little too much. Have you tried going deep a few times per game to try and loosen the defense up? Just a thought...
